Stewart beat Edwards due to Carl driving too safe the last few races

No doubt best engine shop in Nascar but Edwards has to have nightmares. He wins if he just finishes one spot higher in any of 10 chase races

Edwards is starting to really annoy me the guy use to take chances win races and know he's become ultra conservative, the amount of money they invested in him after that 2012 season and he's done basically nothing since,we ended up losing Matt Kenseth because of it,I guarentee you the contract was the big reason Matt jumped ship.

But yeah your right,one spot was all he needed,I actually had a ton of money on Edwards to win the Title.

Maybe he hides it well. But he seemed weirdly cool about it I thought at the time, and even into the next season when asked about losing it like that.

Wonder if that is a clue about how he managed to lose it. Didn't want it bad enough possibly.

.

He's always pretty strong at those Restrictor Plate races, and dominates the Road Courses,I like that he wants to become a top driver,alot of guys will be happy just to be a middle of the pack sort of driver.

Edwards it seems is a motivation thing IMO. If he isn't feuding with someone like Brad he is about a mid pack driver

Real shame,because I know he's got the skills, he proved it when he battled Jimmie what was it 2009 for the title.

Its funny because like my friend was saying to me,it seemed like when he got married that same year,he got conservative,just look at his win record since.

I keep hoping we can get back in the game, we got a great young driver in Steinhouse Jr. id hate to lose him because were falling to far behind the competition.

Im a Ford guy so I cant jump ship to another Manufacture,Penske seems like he's Fords best chance at the moment.

Think Brad has big year and Hamlin and him have huge bounce back seasons

I think your right about Brad, no way he can have as bad a season as last year its only going to go up from here,with Hamlin I couldnt care less, cant stand that guy.

Denny Had a good year in 2010, bad in 11, good in 12, bad in 13.

He seems hard to like, but one of the posters here (who was it?) hooked up with him and went out drinking and stuff and talked about what a nice, generous, normal sort of guy he was.

So I try and think of that when I get the urge to call him a twat ever since

Do you have alot of videos of the past races then.

Yeah I keep them for the past few years. Then watch them to see if I missed anything in my notes. Stats don't mean a lot in NASCAR imo. Well some I mean some of the time. U know a drive stats could say he finished 15th but maybe that's cause a bad pit stop ect ect. So I always watch past races from the track where the race is at every week. Plus I have detailed notes I take. 2nd race from a track each season I don't have to watch cause I already reviewed my driver notebooks and track notebook. Just another tool

**Vegas39** · 01-22-14, 03:53 PM

Nascar to announce qualifying changes at 1PM pacific today

Sweet,have you been to quite a few races,my buddy went to Michigan last year and bought a Pit Pass,said it was pretty cool.
